Experimental and traditional culinary art

La Trattoria’s cuisine is based on the principles of authenticity, simplicity and seasonality, according to the great taste and mastery of the ChefEnrico Bartolini. Tuscan traditions and products, in many cases prepared according to local hosehold recipes, dominate it. It is through this very meeting with a typically local style that Enrico aims to express his creativity and culinary experience to the full, presenting dishes offering both the decisive flavours of the land and the delicate flavours of the sea.

In the heart of the Maremma countryside, the authenticity of the local producs is interpreted with rigorous respect for typical Tuscan cuisine. The more delicate traditional Tuscan combinations are created through the use of products cultivated in the Estate’s fruit and vegetable gardens, which produce fruit, vegetables, aromatic plants, wine and olive oil.

All of this is enhanced by the “Contemporary Classic” culinary philosophy of the chef Enrico Bartolini, according to which the values of the past and the present come together to create new and original flavours. An obsession for aesthetic perfection and a strong flavour impact create a culinary experience, which is light but at the same time touching, capable of gratifying the palate and leaving the mind full of flavoursome memories.
